Quotes by Benjamin Wallace (?)

“In the Bitcoin realm, I explained without raising my voice, the Nakamoto mystery was seen as necessary—a feature rather than a bug. To be truly decentralized required that Bitcoin have a virgin birth. Depriving it of a human figurehead—a flawed individual with a particular identity that might be palatable to this group but not to that one—gave it the best shot at being received on its own terms and taken up en masse. And so among Bitcoiners the Nakamoto alias had come to be hallowed, and inquiries into it discouraged.”
― Benjamin Wallace, The Mysterious Mr. Nakamoto: A Fifteen-Year Quest to Unmask the Secret Genius Behind Crypto

“Libertarians and crypto-anarchists seemed unable to grasp that most people were never going to be libertarians and crypto-anarchists. There was no scenario where Bitcoin would be adopted without being co-opted.”
― Benjamin Wallace, The Mysterious Mr. Nakamoto: A Fifteen-Year Quest to Unmask the Secret Genius Behind Crypto

“Hal Finney, in order to be Nakamoto, required that you fantasize an elaborate pantomime in which he created sock-puppet accounts to send emails to himself; in which, despite having access to hundreds of millions of dollars, he didn’t spend any of it on life-extending healthcare or leave it to the family who would live on without him, or to the cause, ALS research, to which his wife Fran would soon devote herself;”
